Search this site and you'll find Doug Schroeder's suggested cable type. I experimented with them and found them to sound better than my expensive silver high priced spread. Read all the posts and then decide for yourself, however, I am very pleased with the outcome. I got them from AudioSensibility in Canada. They aren't expensive, but they sound great in my system. I have an all Ayre system run completely balanced.
Long XLR cables - DIY construction suggestions?
Hello,
Wanted to ask for recommendations for a DIY XLR cable designs suitable for about 40 foot run -- home use. Pre-amp to active crossover.
Any suggestions for a nice sounding design? Couple of notes to aide the thinking:
1. I like the sound of BBQ Audio Duelund wire XLR cables that I have but they are ony 18' long. Situation changed. Also, they are a bit pricey. But sound so good.
2. Don't think I have too much RFI or other sorts of interference to worry about.
3. Don't like bright sounding cables. Such as silver based of any form.
4. I've got 900 ft. of CAT5 solid core teflon (plenum rated) wire, just in case.
thanks,
Herman
